Other Xerox Phaser 8400 Advantages

Simple design = simple maintenance

The Phaser 8400’s technology is legendary for its ease of use. Loading ink is as easy as loading 
a stapler…even a child can do it.

The HP color LaserJet 3700, as you can see in the photo, is a complicated device. Opening its front
cover engages dozens of moving plastic parts that could be broken. 

Easy-to-use driver

Phaser 8400 printer’s visual graphics interface is easy to navigate and helps get the 
print right the first time

The HP LaserJet 3700 print driver has the most commonly used selections on different
screens, so it is more time-consuming and less intuitive

Front display panel eliminates guesswork

Phaser 8400 front display panel is larger and shows more helpful information including animated graphics to aid in maintenance.

HP LaserJet 3700 front panel is smaller, provides less information at-a-glance, and requires more button pushing to find what you need.
